In a new art installation, Los Angeles-based photographer Maggie West, who specializes in experimental technicolor lighting and whose work increasingly critiques still-rigid contemporary ideas about gender and sexuality, worked with 40 women subjects — including Stephanie Beatriz, Nikki Hearts, Gaby Dunn, Jazzmyne Robbins, Isis King and more — to do just that.

Gaby Dunn got in bed with me last week! She helped me give advice, told me all about her new book, and shared the story of the first girl she made out with in high school WHICH GOT ME FEELING A LOT OF THINGS. Also featuring Jenny Owen Youngs as bed-gargoyle.

If you’re having trouble shaking the feeling that all of your media feeds are one giant grief orgy, try changing the pace of what you take in. Not even the content, necessarily — just the rate. Podcasts are an easy way to do that: 30 to 60 minutes later, you’re done, informed, and ready to fight your next battle.

Gaby Dunn & Allison Raskin developing a series called “Everyone’s a Liar” for YouTube Red, a same-sex hookup on America’s Next Top Model, queer dramz on Degrassi, a Will & Grace revival and other important pop culture stories for your day!
